I've noticed the same. I've been going with the app to be on the safe side. They're so yummy!

I absolutely love the WW from Heinz Chicken Hotpot - I always have a few in the freezer for those "can't be bothered to cook" days! I'm also a fan of M&S Count on Us meals, especially the chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce!

After a few weeks of maintains and small losses, I'm finally back on track - 1.5lb off last night and that gets me to my 1 stone award. Only 3.5lbs to go and I'll be into my 15s!

I stayed the same thing week (and last week) which I'm absolutely thrilled about as I had been away and totally off plan, but still trying to make good choices!

Whilst I can say that it's not my PCOS alone that made me overweight, I also know that it is the PCOS that stops me from losing weight as quickly as most. Even on my best weeks I'll barely notice a difference on the scales. My Dr summed it up perfectly "Most people with PCOS have to work 4x...

1lb off this week. Happy with that as I had two meals out last week!

well done!

I'm going back to Asda tonight! Really hoping they're back in stock!!

I am also losing weight to conceive and have PCOS - we have been trying for over 6 years and have finally been referred to a fertility clinic. They have carried out lots of tests on myself and hubby and are happy to put me on Chlomid once my BMI gets under 30 (they initially said 35 but then...

Didn't you have two cocktails though? So 22 in total? Oyster sauce is 1syn per tablespoon - I use it a lot in stir try's and 1tbsp goes a long way!

Thank you, I'm really happy!

Your Doctor should be able to refer you to a dietitian who can provide you with advice on what foods to eat and what to avoid. Try not to worry yourself too much, it is reversible so once you get your diet under control you can go back to be a healthy 30 year old

Thursday 10 April 2014 Where has that week gone? I've been so busy I've hardly had chance to come on here let alone post a diary. Last week went ok for me, I tried to eat more syns and was convinced this would result in my putting on this week, but quite the opposite! I lost 2 1/2 lbs and get...

How's everyone getting on? I'm now 16 6 so slowing moving through the 16s and the 15s are starting to come into sight! :)

2.5lb off for me tonight. 11lb in 4 weeks - I'm very happy!

They really were - made feeling poorly slightly more bearable!

It's 6 sns for a 38g sachet.

I couldn't find this product on the App - but putting it through the syns calculator with chicken as a free food it comes out at 10syns per 100g.

Lunch and dinner pics!

Friday 4 April 2014 No diary yesterday as I was at home feeling very sorry for myself with a migraine. Luckily, I'm feeling much better today! Yesterday was a good food day actually being at home meant I could cook myself the stuffed mushrooms that I won in the raffle in group on Tuesday. I...

So gutted - went all the way to asda tonight to do my food shop (passed 3 Tescos, a morrisons and a Sainsburys on the way) just get these and they didn't have then! Doh!

They look delicious!

We have a few people in our group that whisper to each other and have little jokes between each other during the group - it really un-nerves me and makes me feel uncomfortable. Sometimes my daughter has to join me when I go (she's 7) but I always make sure I take her tablet and headphones and...

Wednesday 2 April 2014 Weigh in went well last night, I lost another 2lb bring my total up to 8 1/2lbs and I managed to get my 1/2 stone award. I stayed to group as I always do, but last night's was so long we didn't get out of there until gone 20.30 (it starts at 7!). They've also annouced...

I lost 2lb this week and got my 1/2 stone award!

Damn it, I went to Asda yesterday before I saw this thread! Those pizzas look really yummy - I am definitely going to make one of them when I can get my hands on these!

Tuesday 1 April 2014 Today is weigh day for me! I've been so good this week, but after reading some other posts about the need to use at least 5 syns a day, I'm a bit worried that I'm being too good and that is actually hampering my losses! On most days I will have between 0-3 syns, as I was of...

Right, that's it - after today's weigh in, I'm upping my syns!

This is interesting to read, I normally use between 0-3 syns a day and thought that this would help weight loss - maybe I should up them?

I couldn't finish it! I think I'm still full from lunch - had a really big jacket potato and salad.

I don't drive so I walk quite a lot, I think I probably average at least 10 miles a week. I also do my wii fit at least 3 times a week. Time really does fly, tomorrow is my 3rd weigh in already! I gave the stew a miss tonight and made a yummy salad instead!

Good luck with the start of your journey - I'm also feeling really positive about my weight loss journey this time. I'm so dissappointed in myself for putting back on most of the weight I worked so hard to lose for my wedding day. But now I'm not losing it for one special day, I'm trying to lose...

Yeah it definitely does - it means I can cook meals for all the family without having to do a separate one for me!

I'm doing EE - I did try red & green days when I did it last time, but find EE works best for me.

Well done on your loss, 1lb off is better than 1lb on! I too was very proud of myself on Saturday night when I went out for dinner. I had Gammon & Eggs with Salad and no dessert - I had major food envy when looking around the table, but also a great sense of satisfaction of knowing how I'd...

It's tomorrow evening! I'm really hoping to see a loss - I did do my sneaky mid-week check on Friday and it was showing 1lb off - I'd be happy with that as it at least takes me to my my 1/2 stone award!

Monday 31 March 2014 I've got the Monday morning blues today - it's always the way after I have a lovely weekend; coming back to work is so tough! My weekend was really nice - on Saturday my two brothers and I took my Daughter on a 6 mile nature walk through the woods - it was great to get...

I have the same panic every time I go to a theme park. We went to Alton Towers last September when I was at my biggest. I don't my measurement back then but I was size 22 - I managed to fit on all the rides but never felt like I fitted 'comfortably' if you know what I mean.

It's amazing! It's by far my favourite meal I cook - it tastes so good, it's hard to believe it's syn free!

well done on your great loss this week! I'm trying to be a bit more experimental with my recipes - I tend to cook the same things every week (chilli, omelette, cowboy pie are my three main meals each week!).

Friday 28 March 2014 Friday already? How did that happen? This week has gone by in a complete blur! Friday always indicates the start of me having to get my game face on ready for the weekend - I find that weekends are the only time of the week where I really have to think hard about making...

Congratulations - that's fabulous news!

I've not been to that one - our favourites are in Weymouth - I guess that's a long way for you to go! We used to live in Cleethorpes, so Thorpe Park & Golden sands were our 'local' parks and could really recommend them as well.

I'm just re-reading all the books at the moment. I've just started Prisoner of Azkaban - I love it!

I was always told that it's classed as lean as long as all visible fat has been removed. So I hope I've been doing it right, too!

Good luck with your journey - I hope you see a nice loss for your first week!

Thank you for sharing this amazing tool - I have been using one I made for a while, but it doesn't have half the functionality that this one does! You are a star!

Thursday 27 March 2014 I'm on Day 18 of the 'new me' and to be honest I'm feel pretty good. I've got some nice meals planned for the week and just one potential hurdle to overcome which is a meal out on Saturday night. I've already scanned the menu and have found a few things that should be ok...

Hi everyone, :wave_cry: I've decided to take the plunge and start writing my weight loss diary - I've read other diaries and I think they are such a useful tool to start on track. So a little bit about me:- My name is Helen, I'm 30 years old and married my childhood sweetheart in April 2013 -...

I was guilty of this last week and it really affected my mood. I was weighing myself every single morning and sometimes in the evening too. On the morning of Weigh Day it showed a loss of only a lb and as I weigh in the evening I was so sure by that time it would have turned into a gain. I spent...

Hi and welcome! To stay motivated I would break your journey down into small, manageable goals - that way you will keep on track and before you know it you'll be at your goal!

I am on Slimming World too and find that it fits in best with my lifestyle as I can still cook meals for my family but adapt them to be slimming world friendly. As with all lifestyle changes it will take a while to get used to it. Maybe sit down and think about what your favourite foods are that...

I haven't yet this time, but it's my main goal for losing weight. When I had my Daughter, I had just lost 3 stone with WW and I'm sure that helped!

I had two really - one was my 6 year old Daughter telling me her friend said I look like a 'fat potato' - I cried for about an hour solidly before realising that was just the kick I needed. After all, I do look like a fat potato at the moment! The other is my desire to have another baby, I...

How did the courgetti turn out? I've never heard of this before but it sounds intriguing!

I try to drink two litres a day but find I tend do well in the mornings and then it tapers off by the afternoon.. must try harder though!

and don't forget it's newest game, hearthstone! I'm a little bit addicted to hearthstone at the momebt!

Wow your trip sounds amazing and not that long away either!

we love Haven holidays! Which one have you booked?

I lost another 1.5lb this week - so heading nicely towards that magical 1 5 number.. still a long way to go though!

Why did the baker have dirty hands? Because he kneaded a poo!

Working until 6pm, then rushing home to go to my Daughter's parents evening and then food shopping - what an exciting life i lead!

I find the harvester is my go to place if I want to eat our with my family without feeling like I'm missing out too much! Simply chicken with a jacket potato =free Then you can pick up a few extras from the salad bar to make up your superfree 1/3 and there I normally use my syns to treat myself...

I lost 1.5lb last night - very happy with that as it was DDs birthday on Sunday, so we went out to eat twice! I just made sure I stuck to plan 100% the rest of the week.

5ft 7 16st 12lbs Size 20 on top Size 22 on bottom

I live right near the Studios, so we got to go on the day it opened! It's great - you'll have a brilliant time!

I could have written this word for word! My husband and I have been trying for a baby for the last 7 years and I know that my weight combined with my PCOS is not helping - so I'm determined to get my BMI down to 30 so we can start fertility treatment (if needed!).

After my first week's loss I've fallen into the 16 stone bracket, just! (16st 12lb)! So I thought I would pop my head in here to say hi!

I had to go out and buy one of these on lunch today after reading this earlier - they are divine! By far my favourite muller light flavour!

Well done! After such an impressive first week's weigh in, you should not feel disappointed at all with your loss this week - 2lbs is still a great amount to lose in a week!

congratulations and good luck with your weight loss journey - we can do it! :)

Welcome - I've just started back at SW too and am really determined to make it work this time! :)

My daughter (who is 7 on Sunday) and I are doing the same at the moment. She's really enjoying reading the books and I'm enjoying reliving them with her!

Hi and welcome! are you following a slimming plan or are you going it alone? I'm doing slimming world and really enjoying it so far!

I would like to 6 stone, too and I'm doing it through slimming world. I lost 5lb in my first week and am really enjoying being back on plan. Good luck with your weight loss journey. :)

A wedding is such a motivation to lose weight for - I lost three stone before mine last year. Good luck

I took a year off plan after my wedding and put on nearly 2 stone. :sigh: But I'm back on the plan now and feeling really determined! Good luck on your restart, I'm sure you'll shift those 6lbs in no time!

Congratulations on your incredible first week's loss - I hope the scales are just as kind to you on your next weigh in!

Ive only recently joined this forum, but have already found that the support here is brilliant. Good luck on your journey xx

Thank you and good luck to you too. I have a holiday coming up in May that I'd like to lose at least a stone by - but secretly I'm hoping for more.

I lost 5lbs! Very happy with that! :)

We have a new consultant who has started with ours and she's a lot better then the last one (IMO) and you can tell this by the number of people that are staying to group. Only downside is it's now taking about 90 minutes from when the group opens to when we get to leave - I still go every week...

I lost 5lb this week - I'm really happy with that as I had been following the plan at home for four weeks prior and only lost 4lb in that time - so it must be the motivation of actually going to group that kick started my weight loss again!

You can have 28 Pistachios as a HEXb choice - even that's not enough for me!

I'm not sure if this has been mention before but in Morrisons they do a 'Fresh Ideas Hunter's Gammon' in their M Kitchen range. You get two gammon steaks in a pack, with cheese and bbq sauce and each serving (1 steak) is only 1/2 a sin! It is such a delicous meal and feels much more naughty than...

I couldn't believe it when I saw in the latest magazine that Morrison's Hunters Gammon ready meal is only 1/2 a syn per portion (2 portions in a pack) - this is such a yummy meal with gammon, cheese & BBQ sauce. Compared with 7 1/2 syns of the chicken equivalant meal - I'd take Gammon anyday!

My symptoms are, carrying all my weight around my stomach (look about 8 months pregnant some days), excess hair, spots & irregular periods (normally between 30-50 days). I had to have an internal scan about two years ago where they discovered the cysts on my ovaries.

I started Metformin two weeks ago and am doing it alongside SW. It's my first weigh-in tonight so can't say for sure whether it's helped - but I feel like it has. I had bad stomach cramps for the first few days of using the tablets, but they soon went and now I don't have any side effects at all.

Thanks for the replies - today is my first weigh in and I'm hoping for a loss! This week is my Daughter's 7th birthday, so I am going to try and be really good whilst surrounded by lots and lots of bad food!

Hi! :wave_cry: My name is Helen, I'm 30 (eeeeeek!) and have just joined back at Slimming World after having a year of eating badly and gaining weight. I lost three stone before my wedding in April last year using Slimming World but have now put half of that back on. So I'm back on the plan as...
